OK, this sounds like a heavy topic, and it's something that's hard to put into words, but I am really curious how other people experience these concepts.

Here's a little of my view of time: I feel like it is like moving water, washing over me, or coming towards me, like the current of a river. It is always moving, but it moves faster or slower depending how I am experiencing it. I used to be really confused, and sometimes still am, when someone says something like, *Let's move that meeting back...", because "back" , to me, means backwards in time, towards the past, therefore closer to where we are now, meaning the meeting is sooner, closer to today. But what people mean when they say "move a meeting back" is move it away from the time now, away from us, i.e., later in time.

Is this even worth talking about? I have other personal images and ideas for time: two years make an oval track in my mind, for example.

Having a concept of time and space really does you no favors. As soon as you turn these things into abstract representations within your mind, you are that much further away from natural integration within them.
I learned from a crow, that the way to really live life is to become time and space, rather than do what humans do, and exist outside, seeing these things as external effects.
Further: I have experienced all of time as the same moment, which is not something the living normally do. All of time, space, life, is now. Only humans have the unfortunate capacity to separate it all into disconnected fragments, measured by mechanical ticks and tocks.

Strangely, perhaps, I seem to exist somewhere between a half second and a second and a half into the future. Which translates to others as my appearing to be the fastest human alive. I can react almost before the event I am reacting to.

All of this is down to awareness. Indeed, I have noticed that 'now' to me, is not 'now' to others. In fact, 'now' seems not to exist at all for most people.

You see, these are not contrived or invented images or concepts, they are just there in my mind. One day I heard someone say they saw time as little containers to be filled, and I suddenly realized that that wasn't at all how I experienced it.

When I say space, I'm thinking more of concrete space rather than the universe. But the universe, and what's beyond it, that makes me dizzy and weightless.

There are many angles to these ideas, space and time, and they are bigger than any one viewpoint. That's why I'm curious. I'm not looking for an answer or the answer, just different angles. The questions are more important to me than any answer.

I remember one day when I was walking to calculus class,(and I am no mathematician), thinking about math in general, and for one brief flash, the whole wonder of an incomprehensible universe was clear and certain as a drop of water. I shivered with the realization. Then the moment was gone, and I was left with the memory of that moment for the experience that it was, even though its revelation was gone in a flash.
